WILLIAM J. LOGKE, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,615, dated June 28,1887.

Applicatinn filed Marcl1'17,1887. Serial No. 231,308. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. LOCKE, of San Antonio, in the county ofBexar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Plows, of which the following is a specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof,in which Figure l is a side elevation of my improved plow, and Fig. 2 isan end view thereof.

The invention will first be described, and then specifically pointed outin the claim.

A represents the axle, having at one end the smaller wheel, B, and atthe opposite or furrow end the larger wheel, B, which is set at anincline, as shown in Fig. 2.

C represents the tongue, which entends as far rearward as the axle, towhich it is connected by vertical parallel spaced bars G, the lower endsof which are bent outward at right angles and secured by clips 1 to theaxle.

of the axle similarly-spaced bars, 0 depend from the tongue, which barsare provided with transverse bolt-apertures c in vertical series, andbolts 3 pass through the connecting crosspieces at the upper ends of thebars or arms 0 O and through the tongue. A curved brace, 0 is clippedbetween its ends to the lower outward bent ends of the spaced bars 0 byclips 5, the ends of the brace being secured to the axle by clips 2.

D is the plow-bearn pivoted near its forward end within the slot orspace between the bars 0 by means of a bolt 0, and also passing throughthe slot or space between the rear bars, 0. The rearend of the plow-beamis curved downward in rear of the axle, and the plow-shovel E is securedthereto by the angular steel strap 6, as best shown in Fig. 2.

F is an angle-lever, pivoted at or near'its angle to the rear bars, 0,its short arm extending rearward and pivotally connected to theplow-beam, and its long arm projecting In front forward and upwardthrough the guide 9 on the side of the tongue to a point near thedrivers-seat H, which is connected to the axle by clips 4:, passingthrough apertures in the lower end of its standard h. The lever F may bepivoted higher or lower upon the bars 0 by means of a bolt adapted topass through apertures c. of the plow may be readily regulated by theseveral adjustments afforded by adjusting the forward end of the beam inthe slot or space of the front bars, 0 and then raising or lowering therear end of said beam by means of the lever F. The front end of theplow-beam is provided with a clevis, d, of any approved construction.The plow has no landside, but only a point and mold-board. The bars 0 0may be replaced, if desired, by a single bar having a vertical centralslot therein for the beam, as might also the bars 0 From the foregoingit will be seen that by simply loosening the nuts on the clips 1 and 5the bars 0 G and with them the tongue and plow, may be moved laterallyon the axle and curved brace, so that the plow may take more or lessland, as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

Y The combination, with the axle having the landside-wheel B and thelarger inclined furrow-wheel, B, of the tongue 0, the vertical bars 0 9secured to the under side of the tongue, the lower ends of the bars 0being clipped tothe axle and adjustable laterally thereon, the curvedbrace Gfl clipped at its ends to the axle and between its ends to thelower ends of the bars O and the plow and its operating-lever,substantially as set forth.
